I just read One Second After last weekend.

I read it a while back, and I was less than impressed. But last week, when we (thankyouJesus) had some rain and thunderstorms, the power went off.

So I walked across the street to commiserate with the neighbor (single, opposite gender, has wine). She's asking WTF? we get a little blow and TXU craps out?

Next door, the neighbor tries to start her car. Crank, crank, crank... I look. It's a newer mini-SUV. Now I'm planning.

Turns out that the SUV is a Chrysler POS and hasn't run right from the beginning.

But for 5 seconds, I was puckered up.

I’ll never forget the Northeast blackout of 2003 . I was on the phone with my husband two towns over from me when the power went out. Called my mom two states away in Cleveland to tell her about it, and HER power was off too. I was freaking out....
